Before Al invented the Internet, we used to have to throw our paintings way up high into the air ...

the art review:
well, I think the pictures, um...or the art that is, well...hmmmm, it's complex really ... rather ...but on the other hand, so to speak...I think, although I don't know anything terribly specific about your painting per se - actually - but it would seem ... well, at least one could feel, as it were, some, well ...rather, how does one say ...um ...a very strong something of an overwhelming suggestion of a hint of an unmistakably definite je ne sais qua...


my pride n' joy - my 1938 Baldwin (in painting "The Piano Corner"
)

we welcome little pictures and long comments of lavish praise in poetic verse, any language...we prefer cash.

Music:

the piano series: BLACK & TAN
mixed medium, wood ply, canvas,acrylic,
color chip, mexican newspaper clippings

my musical tastes are restricted to only

chicago piano blues
texas blues & western swing,
1947-58 jazz, 1958-last week jazz,
torch songs, coolsville,
all piano music,
bluegrass, hep-cat,
hymns and church music,
chansons d'amour,
dwight yoakum,
brazilian sambas do cariocas
any and all versions of "route 66",
certain old jingles, old children's songs,
"mustang sally",
willie mabon's "i don't know"
ry cooder
maple leaf rag, civil war songs,
jimmy witherspoon

and i've heard some rock n roll i could tap my foot to.

and that's it... except for

ragas, greek music and mexican conjunto

... but nothing else ... unless ... you count
lounge lizard music from the 60's
edgar myers, bella fleck,
newfoundland bar jigs,
bill evans trio

mariachi but only cuando está cargado
con sentimiento de la pasión de amor

and of course betty roché covering the waterfront.

Blues For Hunger - Fort Pierce Blues Festival
....very successful event - starvation was eliminated 100%
I modestly have to tell you, it was my piano licks that really
put it over the top. Pretty slick ticklin'.
A Lot of People Ask Me:
"Lowell, where do you get your inspiration ?"
And I tell them, it's been tough! I grew up with every
imaginable kind of distraction. It was so hard to focus!
1913 - another typical evening at work
Every day the same old thing. Bongos, Tribal Dancing...
Ritual Mambo Parties, Space Visitors, Fellini Film Crews, the occasional Cattle Stampede...you just can't imagine!
But I stuck at it. And no matter who was around, I taught myself how to get in touch with my inner spirit person where the pure thoughts reside.
I said to myself, my easel is my temple.
And to all those
beautiful, sweet young myspace women who've written in to me requesting marriage...(or who've sent in those pictures, webcam group invites, ups packages) I have to say:
"I am so sorry, but my muse wouldn't allow it."
